From word of Seibertronian Cyberpath we have learned from Emiliano Santalucia, an artist for Pop Culture Shock Collectibles that we have gotten our first look at Transformers G1 Optimus Prime statue on the artist's page.
![Transformers News: Preview: Pop Culture Shock Small Scale G1 Optimus Prime Statue]( "Transformers News: Preview: Pop Culture Shock Small Scale G1 Optimus Prime Statue")
As said this is the small scale statue about 10" to 12" that will be produced. If you want to learn more, give the artist a follow on Facebook, otherwise stay connected to Seibertron here as we will post further developments.
Another preview time!
First sneak of Pop Culture Shock small scale (10"-12") G1 Optimus Prime statue.
With all the love by me, Peer Brauner, Ant Adams and Jerry Macaluso!

Crushed-up 3-step changers, plus any 2 of your most hated and despised TF toy lines (for an additional 70 US Dollars).

It's been a little while since we last heard anything about the new Pop Culture Shock! Transformers licensed figures (along with the other Hasbro properties that are receiving the figure treatment, of course), but thanks to one of the artists behind the project - veteran Emiliano Santalucia on his Facebook page - we now have a look at the torso of the Optimus Prime toy that will eventually make it to retail!

Isn't this coming out great?

Nearly four months after it was first previewed and a couple weeks after we got a look at the torso, we have our first full look at the licensed Optimus Prime statue from Pop Culture Shock! This image comes to us via their Instagram page.
The statue is heavily Generation One-based in design, and sports a cel-shaded deco reminiscent of the cartoon (or the similarly-G1-inspired Transformers: Devastation game). Check below for images, and remember to share your thoughts in the Energon Pub Forums! Does this statue look good to you? Is the Sunbow-cartoon style more appealing than the updated aesthetic of other statue releases? We want to know what you think!

As much as G1 Prime or the G1 cartoon don't appeal to me these days I do like the cell shaded style very much (and loved Transformers: Devastation) and so that makes this a nice statue in my opinion.

I think that looks best as a 2D image. I prefer real shadows and lighting on my toys if that makes sense.

As if Optimus jumped out of the screen! Is it posable though? Meaning more action figure than statue? If yes, that's very interesting. If not, it's a big "meh".

Statues are rarely posable. I don't think any statue I have is.

Some ultra expensive, ultra premium figures are called "posable statues". But I don't remember the brand. They make Bayverse and IDWverse ones.

Perhaps some. One I paid about 2k (including shipping) isn't posable.

Shortly after we got our first full look at the statue, we now have an online listing for Pop Culture licensed Shock's Optimus Prime statue!
The statue (set for release some time between now and August) will measure approximately 10.5" tall, and features a swappable right arm to give Prime either his Ion Blaster or Energon Axe. It can be pre-ordered from Pop Culture Shock's website for $160 (including an initial deposit) or for $128 if paid all at once. The listing also features more photos from various angles, a few of which we've mirrored below for your convenience!
What do you think of this statue? Does the price seem reasonable to you, or will you be giving it a pass? Let us know your thoughts by posting in the Energon Pub Forums!
